It could be a form of OCD. I find I scratch my head sometimes till it bleeds and when I had acne I used to pick at the scabs. I found this to be more of a compulsion than self soothing. So talk to your psychologist about it as treatment could be different depending on what is causing it. I found mine was caused by anxiety.
